I picked up another order today! Yippie!! It is a "future" order but at least it is an order. :) The only bad thing is they want nick-names on the back of each shirt. Yuck! I have screen-printed player names ONCE before and it was not fun. I had to use 7 different screens with 2-3 names on each screen. The whole process was SO time consuming I said I would never do individual names again.
Luckily I have a heat press now so can heat press the names. I will do an Internet search for heat transfer lettering. Eventually I would like to purchase a vinyl plotter. Then I could just whip up the names myself. :) Being able to offer individual names and numbers is definitely a plus for business. I would hate to turn away business but if I did not have my heat press I would either have to bid the job VERY high or send them to someone else.
There are many aspects of screen-printing but the good thing is you can always find someone who can do part of the process you are having a problem with. If you don't want to coat your screens buy them pre-coated. You can find someone to draw your art, vector your art, burn your screens and color separate your images. Whatever you need, I am sure there is someone out there who can do it for you.
